Amazing Frog Trivia
Did you know that frogs have been around for over 200 million years? That's longer than the dinosaurs! Here's more:
- The Goliath frog is the largest frog on Earth, and can grow up to 12.5 inches (32 cm) long and weigh up to 7.2 lbs (3.3 kg)!
- Frogs absorb water through their skin so they do not need to drink.
- Some frogs can jump over 20 times their own body length in a single leap.
- The world's smallest frog, Paedophryne amauensis, measures just 0.3 inches (7.7 mm) and lives in Papua New Guinea!
- Many frogs release toxins from their skin to deter predators. The golden poison frog, for instance, has enough toxin to potentially harm humans!
